Site of Ad Pontem, Stoke by Newark is a Roman settlement located in Nottinghamshire. The site lies on the line of the Fosse Way, the principal Roman road connecting Exeter and Lincoln, and represents a roadside settlement that developed to serve travellers and commerce along this important arterial route during the Romano-British period. Archaeological evidence indicates occupation during the Roman period, when such roadside settlements functioned as service centres providing accommodation, provisions, and other facilities. The site is now largely represented by surface remains and subsurface archaeology, with its significance lying principally in its role as evidence of Roman infrastructure and settlement patterns in the East Midlands.
